About the conference theme ...

As boundaries in organizations are demolished and silos or stovepipes eliminated, the challenge of information management becomes critical to business success.

Knowing what information is available, how to gain access to it securely and safely, how to merge and fuse data from different sources and how – and when – to share relevant information with business partners are fundamental questions for all businesses. Managing information, ensuring that it is collected efficiently, verified for accuracy, stored securely and safely and is available when required in the right format is what this conference will discuss.
